She was born in 1964 in Halifax and studied art at the Newcastle Polytechnic. She now works and lives in London while researching at Central Saint Martins[2] and has exhibited internationally in cities such as New York, Venice and Basel.[3]

Work

Hilary Lloyd's work is derived from her observation of people, objects, and spaces. All of her work illustrates her motif as isolated. Sometimes her compositions seem as if they were posed, and some of her other works look like she was at a great distance observing and recording. Her work is entangled with the idea of repetitive movement and minimal materiality. The equipment that has been used to display her images include: monitors, projectors, stands, and cabling.[4] In 2020, Dr James Fox made a personal tour of “some of the most profound artworks from Tate Britain’s collection” for BBC television and included Lloyd’s video piece, One Minute of Water, 1999. This captures sunlight reflecting off water, shown on a Sony monitor on a one-minute loop. “It is spell-binding,” Fox remarked, indicative of “the kind of beauty to be found anywhere”.[5] During the coronavirus lockdown in May 2020 gallerist Sadie Coles curated a mixed exhibition online in which was included Lloyd’s 1999 video titled Rich.[6]
